Friends are lining up tonight (sleeping out) for tickets for Wimbeldon tomorrow. Would be a wonderful, once in a life time experience, but just not the same without Paddy Pantsdown (Patrick Rafter)...(Marla loves to re-name people, suprised she didn't call him The Pat-Meister...)

Michael Franti and Spearhead are playing in Leeds tonight. In a dilema of whether to attend or not. Was really ill Tuesday (very unlike me, but needed a day off) and yesterday (struggled through) and only beginning to feel better today. Not sure if an evening in smokey club is that appealing.... A must read every week. Richard Berry writes to the Australian Prime Minister John Howard from the UK. Very amusing. Very Australian... Wednesday, June 26, 2002
Clayton cracks me up! His blog is hilarious. All he seems to do is drink (& recover), eat and look forward to Friday. Kind of reminds me of someone..... I am what I amAlistair and Derek have both had a go at the Google game (type in "(your name) is"). Thought I would try….

Saco will be here in one month. Should really be working on my stomach muscles now in order to cope..... Monday, June 24, 2002
Four people, one from Scotland, Wales, England and Australia walk into a bar. One of them suggests a drink - oh no, this isn't a joke, just the beginning of an out of control weekend... Highlights; Starbucks, £5 cocktails, G&Ts, Robyn's party, strangers party, cracking stereo, Gill falling down, home made cocktails, vodka and diet coke, driving range, shandy, bright eyes, lost keys, lunch outside, Gill not sitting on her chair, kung-fu kicks, fountains, McDonalds, cake, shopping at Sainsburys, Gill in the bush, no-talking Sunday, BB. Thank goodness its Monday.... Friday, June 21, 2002
Discovered the website for my friends band Mr Brown. Met up with the guys in 2000 when they were touring around Canada, and ventured up to Whistler with them for a show. Being a fan of Star World since my late teens, I have known the guys for a while; it was very cool to catch up with them on the other side of the world. The downside was that I was introduced as the international groupie, even though my holiday was planned first!! Roads once again quiet due to the England vs Brazil game this morning. Last Saturday I went grocery shopping while the World Cup was being played, amazing how empty the supermarket was. Was great! Today I arrived for work 10 minutes early due to no traffic. There doesn't seem to be anyone here. Should check just to make sure its not the weekend.... Thursday, June 20, 2002
The Three Second Rule Yes, another Big Brother reference; last night Kate happened to drop a plate of potato chips, with the house mates not being happy about it due to the fact that they have limited food for the week. Only recently was I introduced to the Three Second Rule while at a BBQ. Apparently, if you’re food does accidentally hit the ground, you have three seconds in which to retrieve it in order for it still to be consumable. After that, the food has been contaminated........unsure if this rule applies at more formal dinners. Not coping too well with hayfever today, and unfortunately left my tablets at home. A lot of other people seem to be suffering as well. Eyes are really itchy.... Wednesday, June 19, 2002
Found the The Official Jimeoin Webpage - Bob and Jimeoin have put together some great sketches performing together in The Cooking Show. Their "receipe" for making jam was to buy some jam, take the labels off the jar and to attach a piece of material on top with an elastic band...And I just found out that Jimeoin is performing at the Edinburgh Festival, and also has a few shows in Birmingham. "Ohhh, what an achievement".... Attempting to look up a home page for my favourite comedian of all time, Mr Bob Franklin. Will have to get back to you, for some reason there doesn't seem to be one.... Trust it to be a nice day, and I'm having to work! Hopefully Saturday will be nice as I have organised to play golf, and then onto a cocktail party. Last weekend Gill & I managed to make it to Harrogate for lunch. We did get a little lost on the way out to Nicole's pub, but found it in the end. Finished the day off by playing Cludeo and having Chinese for dinner, not to mention a few cheeky g & t's.....

I think we have some vacation planning on our hands! Friday, June 14, 2002
I laughed extremely loudly today on the way to work while reading the newspaper, check out this! This is funnier than chicken with teeth!! World cup fever does strange, strange things!! This is such a good song. Heard it this morning, and can't seem to to get it out of my head (go Kylie!). A Little Less Conversation ; the King still rocks! Thursday, June 13, 2002
During my time away from Australia, I attempt to read The Age or The Herald Sun everytime I am online. I enjoy keeping up with current affairs. While in the UK, I usually buy The Mail every morning due to the fact it is in my opinion one of the higher rating commuter-friendly papers. Guess it doesn't really have that much competition. This morning, I boughtThe Sun , a horrid tabloid newspaper, not really sure of the reason why. Regretting it now.... Wednesday, June 12, 2002
England vs Nigeria Amazing how everyone seems to once again be in "meetings". Office very quiet today..... Tuesday, June 11, 2002
Okay, so I know I go on about the weather (probably due to the fact I've never been this white before in my life...apart from before I went back to Australia for Christmas - unfortunately the tan didn't last too long), but the highest temperature it will reach in Leeds today is 13 degrees, and the lowest it will be in Melbourne is 12 degrees. Is that fair???? We are supposed to be approaching summer..... The mullet. Yet again, I am left with a mullet. Not happy Jan! Hair too short to tie back. Bad hair days for the next few weeks..... Manuel back on Friday from Spain. Thinking about having Sunday roast at my place for anyone who is interested... Oh, and speaking of Spain, I have been invited to go to Spain later this year - rather excited! Monday, June 10, 2002
Consider yourself lucky if you didn't receive a phone call from me early Sunday morning. Sorry Kerri and Brice, not sure how much sense I was making...... Friday, June 07, 2002
Am I the only one who works around here? Everyone seems to have disappeared into offices to watch the World Cup. Some people have mysteriously found "meetings" to go to. Still, guess its better than the third week in September.... Yah! Wasn't certain if my position was going to finish up here at the end of the month. My boss has asked me to stay on longer while they are in the transition phase. Although I am a small distance from Leeds, very happy with this position and glad I don't have to go through the horrible task of calling agencies trying to find work....well for a while longer anyway.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sarah! Weekend here again. Think a few of us are going out for drinks tonight as Steve is leaving Leeds and moving to Newcastle for work. There goes one Sunday drinking partner! Does anyone want to play golf with me? Thursday, June 06, 2002
The long weekend was very, very long! Two sayings that I've remembered... "I love chicken with teeth, they crack me up!" Sarah 2002 "Go for that Greencard" Jonny 2002" Yep, I'm jealous. Just found out a group of friends went away camping for the weekend. Must admit, I'm not the biggest fan of the "back to basics" camping (ie. no bathroom), but to go away with the Four Wheel driving team would have been fun. Even Ben was back to his old "tricks".... Promise me we'll go away again when I get back? The UK's answer to George Clooney must be Jeremy Sheffield from Holby City. Will be at the Staff Awards this Friday night. Worth considering, but won't be attending... |
